Key Takeaways Prominent people are shifting to the right because they never signed up for the left’s intellectual straight-jacketThe 2024 presidential election marked a collapse of liberalism and the Democratic Party; it is too narrow of thinking to blame it on a senile Biden or a goofy Kamala If the machine always wins, then you no longer have a democracy nor a democratic process: If Trump would have lost to the machine in 2024, who would have ever been able to defeat it? If we are going to avoid World War III, we must learn the lessons of WWI and WWII; we cannot have excessive appeasement to dictators, but also, we cannot sleepwalk into armageddon On the elite Ivy League institutions: “Maybe they’re good places for training conservatives. If you go to Yale Law School and you’re one of five people in the class who are still conservative at the end, you’ll be pretty good at understanding what’s wrong with liberalism.” Populism and democracy may be a Russell conjugate: It is democracy when people vote the right way and it is populism when they vote the wrong wayBoth extreme dogmatism and extreme skepticism are incompatible with science If you make something into God, you make it into a scapegoat for all the problems too If you’re addicted to the 140 characters on your shiny iPhone screen, you may not realize that the New York Subway and your decrepit apartment building are collapsing around you It matters what people do; there is room for human agency and human thought in the trajectory of the future
Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgOn Tuesday night, president-elect Donald Trump announced that the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will head a new department in the Trump administration: the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE.”
Aside from the very strange fact that internet meme culture has now landed in the White House—Dogecoin is a memecoin—more importantly, what the announcement solidifies is the triumph of the counter-elite. A bunch of oddball outsiders ran against an insular band of out-of-touch elites supported by every celebrity in Hollywood—and they won. And they are about to reshape not just the government but also the culture in ways we can’t imagine.
And there was one person I wanted to discuss it with. He is the vanguard of those antiestablishment counter-elites: Peter Thiel. People describe the billionaire venture capitalist in very colorful terms. He’s been called the most successful tech investor in the world. A political kingmaker. The bogeyman of the left. The center of gravity in Silicon Valley. There’s the “Thielverse,” “Thielbucks,” and “Thielists.” To say he has an obsessive cult following would be an understatement.
If you listened to my last conversation with Thiel a year and a half ago on Honestly, you’ll remember that Peter was the first guy in Silicon Valley to publicly embrace Trump in 2016. That year, he gave a memorable speech at the RNC, and many in his orbit thought it was simply a step too far. He lost business at Y Combinator, the start-up incubator where he was a partner. Many prominent tech leaders criticized him publicly, like VC and Twitter investor Chris Sacca, who called Thiel’s endorsement of Trump “one of the most dangerous things” he had ever seen.
Well, a lot has changed since then. For one, Thiel has taken a step back from politics—at least publicly. He didn’t donate to Trump’s 2024 campaign. There was no big RNC speech this year. But the bigger change is a cultural one. He’s no longer the pariah of Silicon Valley for supporting Trump.
On the surface, Thiel is someone who seems full of contradictions. He is a libertarian who has found common cause with nationalists and populists. He likes investing in companies that have the ability to become monopolies, and yet Trump’s White House wants to break up Big Tech. He is a gay American immigrant, but he hates identity politics and the culture wars. He pays people to drop out of college, but, in this conversation at least, still seems to venerate the way that the Ivy Leagues are an indicator of intelligence.
But perhaps that’s the secret to his success: He’s beholden to no tribe but himself, no ideology but his own. And why wouldn’t you be when you make so many winning bets? From co-founding the e-payment behemoth PayPal and the data analytics firm Palantir (which was used to find Osama bin Laden) to being the first outside investor in Facebook, Thiel’s investments—in companies like LinkedIn, Palantir, and SpaceX, to name a few—have paid off big time.
His most recent bet—helping his mentee J.D. Vance get elected as senator and then on the Trump ticket as vice president—seems also to have paid off. The next four years will determine just how high Thiel’s profit margin will be.
Today: Thiel explains why so many of his peers have finally come around to Trump; why he thinks Kamala—and liberalism more broadly—lost the election; and why the Trump 2.0 team will be better than last time, with antiestablishment figures who are willing to rethink the system. We talk about the border, trade deals, student debt, Israel and foreign policy, the rise of historical revisionism, the blurry line between skepticism and conspiracy, and his contrarian ideas about what we might face in a dreaded World War III.

Key Takeaways Don’t Half-Ass It: Think and try it out beforehand, but when it’s time to go, dive in and finish it You should be able to laugh at the crisis; there is not always tribute in solemnity “Be very serious about your sense of humor.” – McConaughey Analyze the habits and behavior that engineer less pain in your life; you can’t guarantee happiness, but there is a science to satisfaction When things are going well, take time to reflect on why they may be going well so you can learn from your success and hopefully repeat those behaviors in the future In many ways, the things that you don’t get help you find satisfaction in life more than the things that you do get Turn negativity into fuel: Rage, anger, and a thirst for revenge are mighty powerful emotions that can be used as activation energy in pursuit of a goal You have to pay a price to become a person that other people admire; while we all want to be relevant, we should consider what it is that we want to be relevant for Every decision has opportunity costs; choose pursuits that are worthy of the sacrifices that you will inevitably have to make “Life has to be lived forward, but it only makes sense in reverse.” – Søren Kierkegaard

Key Takeaways Carbon dioxide serves as the body’s signal to take the next breath, not oxygenOxygen and carbon dioxide are like yin and yang: pH drops when CO2 goes up – when pH goes down, there’s more oxygen delivered via hemoglobin into mitochondriaThe goal is to reduce respiratory rate so you can become more efficientYou can use different breathwork timing to manipulate your state: Inhale is tied to activation; exhale is for relaxationUse a longer exhale to relaxFast breathing is the hallmark of stress and hyperventilationCO2 therapies (like blood flow restriction) can also be used to increase muscle size by trapping more CO2 in working musclesCautions: When starting CO2 training start slow and listen to your body! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t notice improvements quickly, it can take some time to find the right dose for your body
Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgCarbon dioxide therapy has become a highly debated and often misunderstood topic.
Is elevated CO2 beneficial, or could it pose risks? What exactly are the advantages of CO2 therapy, and how might it impact your health?
In this episode, you’ll get to explore the transformative power of breathing with breathwork expert Anders Olsson. From the benefits of food-grade CO2 cylinders to advanced breathing techniques that can boost both mental and physical well-being, Anders shares invaluable insights. As the author of Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power Of Your Breath and creator of tools like the Relaxator and CarboHaler, he guides you through the profound impact breathwork has on emotions and stress management. You’ll uncover the fascinating relationship between CO2 and oxygen delivery, the role of nitric oxide in respiratory health, and how specific breathing patterns can dramatically reduce stress and elevate overall health. Plus, you’ll gain practical advice and discover cutting-edge research to enhance your daily breathwork practice.
Anders Olsson is a breath coach, author, keynote speaker, inventor, and founder of the Conscious Breathing Institute. Anders joins me on the podcast to bring clarity to the benefits, potential concerns, and safe applications of CO₂ therapy. After living most of his life with a high inner stress and a racing mind, Anders was fortunate enough to come across tools that have helped him relax and find his inner calm. The most powerful of these tools has undoubtedly been to change his breathing habits, which made Anders decide to become the world’s most prominent expert in breathing.
That was 15 years ago, and since then, he has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to achieve better health and an improved quality of life. Anders is the author of the best-selling book Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power of Your Breath and the co-inventor of the Relaxator, Sleep Tape, CarboHaler, and BodyStream CO2 Bath.
He is considered an authority on CO2 therapy and coaches high-level executives and elite athletes. In 2018, Anders facilitated and participated in a groundbreaking three-week breathing study at Stanford, highlighted in James Nestor's book Breath.
Tune in and breathe easy as we unpack the science and art of effective breathing to help you reduce stress, boost energy, and enhance your overall well-being.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Key Takeaways The Trump win represents a dismissal of Wokeism and judgmentalism and is a ringing endorsement of meritocracy and common sense Donald Trump has increased his support across the electorate; except for two demographic groups (65+ and white college women), every single demographic group shifted towards Republican from 2020 to 2024 Comparing Trump votes from 2020 to 2024 in areas that are bastions of elitist liberal thinking:In California, Trump lost by 29 points in 2020; he lost by 17 points in 2024 In New York, Trump lost by 23 points in 2020; he lost by 12 in 2024 The current Democratic Party base consists of the elites: The overeducated, affluent, and non-religious types who are disconnected from the reality of most AmericansIf these people stay in control of the Democratic Party, the Republicans will probably have an electoral majority for the foreseeable future “I think that the Democrats will lose one of California or New York in the next eight years.” – Chamath “The legacy media spell is broken. Their credibility has been destroyed and I think that the repudiation of the legacy media is one of the most important results of this election. It just shows that the Democrats had a trillion-dollar propaganda machine on their side and Trump was still able to win.” – David Sacks Science is the constant process of questioning whether you are right or wrong; reasserting the scientific process of skepticism in federal agencies may help restore trust and faith in our institutions“In the most basic calculation, the bottom fell out of the Democratic Party.” – Chamath Donald Trump won because his focus is on solving real problems that are affecting Americans “Americans love winners and innovation, and they hate socialism and woke nonsense – it’s time for a hard reset.” – Jason

Key Takeaways The fundamental aspect of the American Dream is creating a better life for your kids than the one you livedTwo-thirds of the American workforce has a high school education, and only one-third has a college education; on average, a person with a college education lives seven years longer than a person without one “Right now, I am focused on: ‘What’s the right move for America?’ And that’s why I’m all in with Donald Trump – his policies, his thinking, his way of just looking at things, his intuition. It’s just right.” – Howard Lutnick In the past, the Democratic Party used to be the party for the workers, and the Republican Party was the party for businesses, but this has completely shiftedCoastal elite nonsense has infiltrated the Democratic Party; it no longer represents the working class as it once didInstead of taxing the hell out of the American people, what if the US government made money off tariffs when other countries bought our stuff?All of the fentanyl that makes its way into the US comes from China; something nefarious might be at play, given the damage this drug is doing to America’s youth and working-class After the 9/11 attacks, Howard Lutnick pledged to forgo his salary and bonuses for several years to support the families of Cantor Fitzgerald employees who lost their lives“Everytime bitcoin dips, I’m going to be the buyer.” – Howard Lutnick He has “hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars” worth of exposure to Bitcoin, and one day expects his stack to be worth billions “Bitcoin will be way way way higher, sometimes lower. You just have to have faith.” – Howard Lutnick

Key Takeaways The human genome was sequenced 25 years ago, what’s the delay in editing? We know the sequence of the genes but we don’t know what most of the genes do, nor do we fully understand the coding and non-coding sequence (yet)CRISPR is an adaptive immune system: After the first infection, the bacteria has been ‘vaccinated’ against the virusThe next time the virus comes around, it will inject its genetic information into the bacteria but now the bacteria in the CRISPR area have a signature of the virusDifficulties in application of CRISPR: CRISPR uses a guide RNA to recognize the virus DNA but delivery of the Cas + guide RNA needs to be precise and the protein is too large to insert with easeBut, solving the delivery issue doesn’t mean CRISPR is suitable for all diseases; its most potent application is for genetic mutations (and likely not cancer which has many different mutations in the cell)Future goals of CRISPR technology: Creating more feasible Cas and guide RNA delivery system; inserting large genes into the genome, precisely and efficientlyEthical considerations of gene editing germline:Slippery slope argument: If we allow X and Y, we will enter an unchartered territory with designer babies, making babies smarter (which we don’t know how to do), etc.It’s worth noting that athletics, and intelligence, are more complicated than we want to believe; even with the right genetics, environment plays a huge role in realizing genesThinking about how the line should be drawn: Is there an obvious and important medical benefit?

Key Takeaways Now more than ever,young men are uncertain about what the world needs from themThe increase in young male suicide may be due to men retreating from the difficulties and challenges of modern society “The state of feeling unneeded is literally fatal.” – Richard Reeves Four out of five teens who commit suicide are boys: Across every age group, the suicide rate is 4x higher amongst men than women There has been an expansion in the domains of neediness for women and a contraction in the domain of neediness for men The mental health field is more female-friendly than male-friendly; the whole field of mental health has been coded as female and feminine – and we wonder why men are not interested in it! Young men feel politically homeless, and they especially do not feel welcomed by the political left; instead of turning to the left or the right, younger men tend to retreat Recently, there has been a massive increase in drug poisoning deaths among young menFrom 2001 to today in the United States, the increase in deaths from drug poisoning is equivalent to an additional 400,000 menIn the US, only half of men in their 30s and 40s without a college degree are in a household with childrenFor men, the old form of neediness as a protector has been significantly evacuated and replaced by nothing The best protector against despair is realizing that the world needs you

Men have been struggling for a long time. What exactly is going on? What resources can genuinely help modern men, and how can we better understand the dynamics that are driving this decline in male wellbeing.
Expect to learn why Obama endorsed Richard’s book, the scary trends about male suicide, why it's important for humans to feel needed, whether the Harris-Walz campaign has even considered men's existence, if this upcoming election will be decided by masculinity, Richard’s thoughts on therapy for men and much more….

Genius Life
Key Takeaways In medicine (and everywhere), there is resistance to new ideas – so many people have spent so much time holding a certain belief, that the cost is too high to changeThe distrust in science and medicine is because there is no humility in walking back incorrect informationWe need people who are willing to speak up instead of falling in line; science is the study of challenging deeply held assumptionsWe need new frontiers of medicine, people are hungry for answersThe future of medicine is hopeful as the new generation of medical students and doctors is not on board with the traditional path of doing whatever you need to secure NIH funding and falling in lineIt’s time we consider NIH term limitsWe spend more money on pharmaceuticals than we do on understanding the origins of diseaseNew formula for medicine: (1) Invite dissenting opinions; (2) Create a culture of speaking up; (3) Recognize that we all have biases and suspend those biases as we hear new information

Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work and art. They have been translated into 38 languages. His breakthrough books include Purple Cow, Tribes, The Dip, Linchpin, and his latest book is called This is Strategy. He writes one of the most popular daily blogs in the world and has given 5 TED talks. He is the founder of the altMBA, and the former VP of Direct Marketing at Yahoo!
Notes:
"If you want word of mouth, you have to create something remarkable, and that means it’s worthy of remark." The elegant path is the most useful way forward. “My neighbor is a barefoot runner. He glides without apparent effort.” Elegance is simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Dorothy and Her Crew. How did Dorothy persuade the Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow to join her on the trip to see the Wizard? Did she make a case about how much she missed home? No. She created the conditions where the others could get what they wanted by joining her. Seeing Strategy Clearly. Strategy is a flexible plan that guides us as we seek to create a change. It helps us make decisions over time while working within a system. Low-Hanging Fruit Isn’t. It’s all been picked. The easy, direct, obvious paths are unlikely to get you the results you’re working so hard to obtain. In fact, these paths are probably a trap. Seth, at one point, got 800 rejection letters. Have to keep going... "I wouldn't call Steve Ballmer a good leader." An example of Seth making a difference... He went to Kenya and talked with 60 people who started a book club based on his book Linchpin. "They decided to be leaders." Make decisions in the moment: Examine the issue Get feedback Look for patterns "Taste is knowing what the market wants before it knows it." Rick Rubin Reality distortion field Johnny Cash "What do you think?" "Objections are your friends." What are the commonalities among leaders with whom Seth has worked and who have sustained excellence? They are all different, but the one thing they have in common is they all have chosen to be leaders. And that means that they are here to make a change happen. Management doesn’t just exist. It was invented. When you race to the bottom, You see people as resources, not as people. Questions That Lead To Strategies. 84 questions. They’ll force you to think through your strategy. By answering them, you’ll be better prepared to make a difference… And make a ruckus. Some of them: Who is this project for? What is my timeline? What systems would need to change for my project to succeed? Where will I cause tension? What resistance should I anticipate? Where is the empathy? What asset would transform my project? What can I learn from comparable projects? Is the change I’m making contagious? Can I make it easier for others to decide? How can I design for network effects? What are common objections I expect to encounter? -

Episode Outline:
— The most obvious parallel is to Apple Computer. Both companies specialized in relentless, obsessive refinement of their technologies. Both were established close to great research universities to attract talent. Both fetishized superior, elegant, covetable product design. And both companies exploded in size and wealth under an in-house visionary-godhead-inventor-genius. At Apple, that man was Steve Jobs. At Polaroid, the genius was Edwin Land. Just as Apple stories almost all lead back to Jobs, Polaroid lore always seems to focus on Land.
— Both men were college dropouts; both became as rich as anyone could ever wish to be; and both insisted that their inventions would change the fundamental nature of human interaction.
— Jobs expressed his deep admiration for Edwin Land. He called him a national treasure.
— Books on Edwin Land:
Land's Polaroid: A Company and the Man Who Invented It by Peter C. Wensberg (Founders #263)
A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein (Founders #134)
Land's Polaroid: A Company and the Man Who Invented It by Peter C. Wensberg (Founders #133)
The Instant Image: Edwin Land and the Polaroid Experience by Mark Olshaker (Founders #132)
Insisting On The Impossible: The Life of Edwin Land and Instant: The Story of Polaroid(Founders #40)— Biography about Steve Jobs: Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli
— Edwin Land of Polaroid talked about the intersection of the humanities and science. I like that intersection. There's something magical about that place. There are a lot of people innovating, and that's not the main distinction of my career. The reason Apple resonates with people is that there's a deep current of humanity in our innovation. I think great artists and great engineers are similar, in that they both have a desire to express themselves. In fact some of the best people working on the original Mac were poets and musicians on the side. In the seventies computers became a way for people to express their creativity. Great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were also great at science. Michelangelo knew a lot about how to quarry stone, not just how to be a sculptor. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson (Founders #214)
— Book on Henry Ford:
I Invented the Modern Age: The Rise of Henry Ford by Richard Snow (Founders #9)
The Autobiography of Henry Ford by Henry Ford (Founders #26)
Today and Tomorrow Henry Ford (Founders #80)
My Forty Years With Ford by Charles Sorensen (Founders #118)
The Story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's Ten Year Road Trip by Jeff Guinn (Founders #190)
— Another parallel to Jobs: Land's control over his company was nearly absolute, and he exercised it to a degree that was compelling and sometimes exhausting.
— When you read a biography of Edwin land you see an incredibly smart, gifted, driven, focused person endure decade after decade of struggle. And more importantly —finally work his way through.
— Another parallel to Jobs: You may be noticing that none of this has anything to do with instant photography. Polarizers rather than pictures would define the first two decades of lands intellectual life and would establish his company. Instant photos were an idea that came later on, a secondary business around which his company was completely recreated.
— “Missionaries make better products.” —Jeff Bezos
— His letter to shareholders gradually became a particularly dramatic showcase for his language and his thinking. These letters-really more like personal mission statements-are thoughtful and compact, and just eccentric enough to be completely engaging. Instead of discussing earnings and growth they laid out Land's World inviting everyone to join.
— Land gave him a four-word job description: "Keeper of the language.”
— No argument in the world can ever compare with one dramatic demonstration. — My Life in Advertising by Claude Hopkins (Founders #170)
— The leap to Polaroid was like replacing a messenger on horseback with your first telephone.
— Hire a paid critic:
Norio Ohga, who had been a vocal arts student at the Tokyo University of Arts when he saw our first audio tape recorder back in 1950. I had had my eye on him for all those years because of his bold criticism of our first machine.
He was a great champion of the tape recorder, but he was severe with us because he didn't think our early machine was good enough. It had too much wow and flutter, he said. He was right, of course; our first machine was rather primitive. We invited him to be a paid critic even while he was still in school. His ideas were very challenging. He said then, "A ballet dancer needs a mirror to perfect her style, her technique.
— Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony by Akio Morita.
— Another parallel to Jobs: Don't kid yourself. Polaroid is a one man company.
— He argued there was no reason that well-designed, wellmade computers couldn't command the same market share and margins as a luxury automobile.
A BMW might get you to where you are going in the same way as a Chevy that costs half the price, but there will always be those who will pay for the better ride in the sexier car. Rather than competing with commodity PC makers like Dell, Compaq and Gateway, why not make only first-class products with high margins so that Apple could continue to develop even better first-class products?
The company could make much bigger profits from selling a $3,000 machine rather than a $500 machine, even if they sold fewer of them.
Why not, then, just concentrate on making the best $3,000 machines around? — Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products by Leander Kahney.
— How To Turn Down A Billion Dollars: The Snapchat Story by Billy Gallagher
— Books on Enzo Ferrari
Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime. (Founders #97)
Enzo Ferrari: Power, Politics, and The Making of an Automotive Empire by Luca Dal Monte (Founders #98)
Enzo Ferrari: The Man and The Machine by Brock Yates (Founders #220)
— Soul in the game. Listen to how Edwin Land describes his product:
We would not have known and have only just learned that a new kind of relationship between people in groups is brought into being by SX-70 when the members of a group are photographing and being photographed and sharing the photographs: it turns out that buried within us—
there is latent interest in each other; there is tenderness, curiosity, excitement, affection, companionability and humor; it turns out, in this cold world where man grows distant from man,
and even lovers can reach each other only briefly, that we have a yen for and a primordial competence for a quiet good-humored delight in each other:
we have a prehistoric tribal competence for a non-physical, non-emotional, non-sexual satisfaction in being partners in the lonely exploration of a once empty planet.
— “Over the very long term, history shows that the chances of any business surviving in a manner agreeable to a company’s owners are slim at best.” —Charlie Munger

Art of Manliness
Money can't buy happiness. It sounds good as a bumper sticker platitude.
But the truth is, money can buy happiness. At least sometimes. In certain circumstances. If we view it and use it in the right ways.
Here to unpack the conditions under which money can buy happiness and facilitate our flourishing is Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and behavioral finance expert and the author of The Soul of Wealth: 50 Reflections on Money and Meaning. Today on the show, Daniel shares the minimum income level at which money buys happiness, at least in the sense of avoiding pain. We talk about how to purchase material things in a way that increases happiness, while avoiding materialism, and the value of using your money to buy health and freedom. And we discuss the importance of finding an overarching why that guides the way you allocate your money and doing a values audit to see if your purpose and spending habits are aligned.

Key Takeaways The soul is the battleground between the forces of good and evil; it is your moral duty to constrain evil within yourself Communism does not scale and it does not iterate – whereas religious thought is the record of those ideas that have scaled and iterated If you follow the voice of adventure and make the necessary sacrifices to follow the path that takes you out of your comfort zone, then you will experience the following benefits:Your life will be a blessing Everyone will hold you in high esteem You will establish something of permanent value You will do these things in a way that is maximally beneficial to everyone elseThere is no distinction between the truest adventure of life and taking on the maximal responsibility and burdenCompare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today Make the presumption that if you move forward in good faith, whatever happens to you will be the best thing that could happen – no matter what it is Men should have a temper, but they should be able to regulate it; most of what passes for morality is nothing but cowardiceA good man has to be formidable: The capacity that could be the most potent force for evil can also be the most powerful force for good Welcome the adversity of life as a redemptive challenge; the best parts of yourself activate when you voluntarily contend with challengesAfter you go through a period of pain, you will have more gratitude for the ordinariness of life We have an existential moral duty to aim upward and to tell the truth

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Key Takeaways Understanding Big Food: Ten companies own the entity of our food system – these companies have outsized control over our food system, and they care more about profits than human healthOur ancestors would not recognize the “foods” that we eat today; most people do not realize that new ingredients have been snuck into our food supply over the last fifty yearsFollowing World War II, in search of a new market, the chemical companies shifted their focus towards American farmlands and launched a new war on the bugs and pests on American farmlandsThe World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a known carcinogen, and yet, approximately 280 billion pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops per year; about 80-90% of grain products on grocery store shelves contain very high levels of glyphosate Companies such as Bayer make the chemicals that destroy our soil and give us cancer, then also produce and profit from drugs designed to treat those cancers Studies that go against the interests of the agrochemical companies are rare because those same chemical companies fund the majority of the research in the industry The way that we are farming now is not sustainable; if we continue down our current path of spraying all these chemicals on our food and destroying the soil, then we will only have 55 years of harvests left before plantable soil is gone The fruits and vegetables in the grocery store are losing vitamin and mineral content because the soil they were harvested in is not as healthy as it once wasApproximately 77% of adults between the ages of 17 and 24 are ineligible for military service due to obesity Tips from Courtney Swan: Buy organic, buy local produce from nearby farmers, form a relationship with a local rancher, shop the perimeter of the grocery store, buy real foods with simple ingredients, prioritize protein, and eliminate ultra-processed foods

Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgFriedrich Hayek credited Bruno Leoni with shaping his ideas on laws and legislation. James Buchanan said that Leoni identified problems that led to his own work on public choice. How is it possible, then, that so few of us know of the groundbreaking Italian political philosopher? Listen as Duke economist Michael Munger talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about Leoni's ideas and the gruesome murder that ended his life before its time.
